Apparently, the interest that Eric's tournaments is generating is dimming away, unfortunately... or holidays are getting in our way!
It has been 3 weeks since the fixtures were announced and still 4 matches to go. Helcat is gone missing since the start of the tournament.

It seems like this tournament is going much slower than our previous ones. Helcat, who is usually very reliable, has not responded for almost 2 months. Therefore, at this time, I am looking for someone to replace him. If you have any friends who might want to play let me know. If I get no response in the next 2 days, I will take over his position.

Sam has pointed out that there is a bug in this scenario that I missed. Field bunkers do NOT block line of sight. Instead of changing anything, I am going to keep the scenario the same. So, please be aware that you can 'shoot' through a field bunker. I am going to allow it for this scenario. It will be in the description.

Thanks Sam. Maybe someday there will be an update to the online game. We can only hope.

The 4th round scenario, Guadalcanal, is now up online. It has favored the Axis in previous play. However, this may be one where reserve units for both sides can make a huge difference. So, Gheintze and van Voort can let me know if they decide to use any of their remaining units.

Since there is only one match left to play, I am going to release our next scenario for round 5. When Geoff and Boyd set up a time to play I will re-release Guadalcanal for them.

Our next scenario, Battle of Imphal/Kohima took place in May of '44 between the British and the Japanese. This scenario has been released before with the Allies winning at 40%. I have not made any changes to the scenario so the Allies are in for a tough go. Again, read the rules carefully and practice. All flanks come into play and with center objectives for both sides, I think it makes for interesting strategy.

Enjoy!!

By the way, van Voort and Gheintze, please let me know if you are using any of your reserve units.

We will also need starting lineups before we begin. I think it's van Voort's turn to set them.
